As 2013 comes to a close, we&rsquo;re taking a look back at the big celebrity cover trends for the past year. Between all the Kardashians, the Royal Babies, and the Jennifers Aniston and Lawrence, who were the big winners?&nbsp;</p>
<p>
For celebrity weeklies, reality stars are still proving to be a far bigger draw than their Hollywood counterparts. Many of the year&rsquo;s best-selling tabloids featured Kardashians (Kim, as always, was the clan&rsquo;s best-selling member, followed by Khloe&mdash;although mom Kris proved to be tabloid poison for certain titles), Bachelors, or cheating Housewives on their covers. The <a href="http://www.adweek.com/news/press/people-hits-newsstand-gold-royal-baby-cover-151534">Royal Baby</a> was also a hot topic, breaking into the top three covers at People and Life &amp; Style.&nbsp;</p>

<p>
People&rsquo;s biggest sellers this year turned out to be cover stories about &ldquo;real&rdquo; people. A cover featuring the Cleveland kidnapping victims brought in the most newsstand dollars, followed by the Gosselins of Jon &amp; Kate Plus 8. A recent cover story on the McStay murder case was also newsstand gold.</p>
<p>
People managing editor Larry Hackett said the success of reality star (and real-life) stories over traditional celebrities speaks to readers&rsquo; need for a juicy story above anything else. &ldquo;A life-changing story will do better than a celeb story, all things being equal,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;If you&rsquo;re a famous person who&rsquo;s not doing much of interest at that moment, you&rsquo;re not going to sell covers anymore.&nbsp;People want a narrative, and they&rsquo;ll take a narrative even if it&rsquo;s about someone that makes many of us scratch our our heads and go, &lsquo;Why do people care about them?&rsquo; They care because it&rsquo;s a good story.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
For the fashion glossies, Kim Kardashian&#39;s tabloid appeal hasn&#39;t always translated&mdash;her Allure (March 2012), Glamour (January 2012) and Marie Claire (December 2011) all sold poorly, netting significantly lower-than-average newsstand sales&mdash;but her April 2013 Cosmopolitan cover was the magazine&#39;s biggest this year, selling 1.2 million single copies versus an average of 1 million copies during the first half of the year. (Figures are from the Alliance for Audited Media and are publishers&#39; estimates.)&nbsp;</p>
<div class="news-article-image" style="float: right;margin: 10px 0px 10px 10px;">
<img class="fancyzoom" data-fancybox-src="/files/imagecache/node-detail/vf-princess-di-01-2013.jpg" src="/files/imagecache/test-width/vf-princess-di-01-2013.jpg" />
<p class="caption">
&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<p>
Otherwise, fashion glossies still have more success with proven Hollywood stars. Several titles&#39; September and March issues, which typically go with safe picks because they&#39;re the largest editions of the year, performed well thanks to A-listers like Jennifer Aniston (Glamour, September), Drew Barrymore (InStyle, September), Sarah Jessica Parker (Harper&#39;s Bazaar, September), Beyonc&eacute; (Vogue, March) and newly minted fashion icon Jennifer Lawrence (Vogue, September).</p>
<p>
&quot;We lean towards the faces that are most recognizable,&quot; said InStyle editor in chief Ariel Foxman, who had the year&#39;s biggest successes with Drew Barrymore in September and actresses Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis in March. Reality stars &quot;don&rsquo;t have the same recognition [as actresses or singers], or they have recognition for infamous reasons,&quot; Foxman said.</p>
<p>
Former reality star Lauren Conrad seems to have shed her Hills association enough to become a serious fashion contender, giving both Marie Claire and Lucky its second-biggest sellers this year. And despite the actress not having appeared in a project since Gossip Girl went off the air, Blake Lively delivered Lucky and People StyleWatch&#39;s biggest issues this year.</p>
<p>
Vanity Fair proved yet again that celebrities need no longer be living to sell magazine covers. Its biggest seller of the year was Princess Diana on the September issue, selling 316,386 copies versus an average 252,651 copies for the first six months of the year, followed by Audrey Hepburn in May. (When the magazine did try to go young&mdash;like with Taylor Swift in April or Jennifer Lawrence in February&mdash;sales were weak.)&nbsp;</p>
<div class="news-article-image" style="float: right;margin: 10px 0px 10px 10px;">
<img class="fancyzoom" data-fancybox-src="/files/imagecache/node-detail/marie-claire-lc-01-2013.jpg" src="/files/imagecache/test-width/marie-claire-lc-01-2013.jpg" />
<p class="caption">
&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<p>
As for the year&rsquo;s worst-sellers, Jennifer Lopez was one celeb whose star seems to have faded. Her covers for Harper&rsquo;s Bazaar in February and Cosmo in October were bottom-sellers for both titles. Other poor sellers were Jessica Biel (Elle, January), Heidi Klum (Marie Claire, February), Katy Perry (Vogue, July), One Direction with model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Glamour, August) and Julianne Moore (InStyle, October). While One Direction has proved a big seller for both Teen Vogue and Seventeen this year, the boy band may have been too young for Glamour&#39;s readers. As for Moore&#39;s InStyle cover, Foxman speculated that her October cover suffered from being on newsstands right after a massive September.</p>
<div class="news-article-image" style="float: right;margin: 10px 0px 10px 10px;">
<img class="fancyzoom" data-fancybox-src="/files/imagecache/node-detail/instyle-drew-barrymore-01-2013.jpg" src="/files/imagecache/test-width/instyle-drew-barrymore-01-2013.jpg" />
<p class="caption">
&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<p>
Looking ahead to 2014, Hackett predicted that Prince George will continue to be a popular subject, while Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston&rsquo;s upcoming nuptials should also appeal to newsstand buyers. As far as fashion magazines, Foxman expects to see Scandal star Kerry Washington (who made her cover debuts on Vanity Fair, Glamour and Elle this year), up-and-coming actress Shailene Woodley (who appeared on Elle&#39;s Women In Hollywood issue) and newcomer Lupita Nyong&#39;o (a recent Golden Globe nominee for her role in Twelve Years a Slave) become established cover stars.&nbsp;</p>

Royal milestones are <a href="http://www.adweek.com/news/press/royal-wedding-provides-31-million-magazines-132951" target="_blank">proven cash cows</a> for celebrity weeklies: Between newsstand sales, special issues and features, the magazine industry raked in an estimated $31 million from the Royal Wedding in 2011. Now, the celebrity tabloids and their digital counterparts are getting ready to reap the benefits of the royal union with Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge&#39;s first baby.</p>
<p>
While Buckingham Palace has avoided releasing an official due date, People magazine managing editor Larry Hackett said Monday that he had it on good authority that today was the day. (Whether the baby will comply remains to be seen.) The title has long had an affinity for the Royal Family: Since it first featured Prince Charles on its cover in 1974, five of the magazine&rsquo;s best-selling covers ever have featured British royals (Prince William&rsquo;s birth in 1982 sold 2.6 million copies on the newsstands, while the prince&rsquo;s wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011 sold 2.1 million). People has already dedicated four separate covers to Kate&rsquo;s pregnancy since it was announced in late 2012.</p>
<p>
People is planning &ldquo;blowout coverage&rdquo; of the birth, in print and on People.com, where there is already a dedicated Royals channel and Royal Baby Timeline. (There&rsquo;s also a &ldquo;Special Collector&rsquo;s Book&rdquo; slated for release in August; news may be broken online these days, but moments that need savoring still call for commemorative publications.) A full-time London bureau chief and several freelancers are on the ground in the U.K. preparing to get the story.</p>
<p>
Over at Bauer, In Touch and Life &amp; Style magazines have a team of reporters and an editor in London dedicated to the Royal Baby&rsquo;s arrival. The titles have already had newsstand success with pregnancy coverage&mdash;a recent Life &amp; Style cover touting &ldquo;Kate Middleton&#39;s Delivery Drama&rdquo; was its best-selling to date, according to a rep&mdash;and Dan Wakeford, editor-in-chief of In Touch and Life &amp; Style, said that he expects the birth itself to be even bigger news than the Royal Wedding for weeklies.</p>
<p>
Us Weekly, which was closing its upcoming issue Monday, managed to secure one of 10 dedicated press spots outside of the private wing of St. Mary&#39;s Hospital in London where the baby will be born, said executive editor Albert Lee. Us already released a special newsstand-only issue, &ldquo;Raising a Royal Baby,&rdquo; last month, and plans to release a second one after the baby is born. &ldquo;A lot of readers will be served by going online&rdquo; for immediate baby news, said Lee, &ldquo;but some will also want to pick up a collector&rsquo;s issue to commemorate the event.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
Online, Yahoo&rsquo;s OMG is working with editorial staff at its U.K. counterpart to cover the news. Its women&#39;s site Yahoo Shine has had a team of editors on call around the clock since last week waiting to populate its Royal Baby Buzz microsite. After the big day, expect weeks&rsquo; worth of photo galleries, videos and follow-up stories dissecting every detail of the birth. (And, of course, what Kate was wearing.)</p>

Emma Bazilian<p>
Once upon a time, <em>People</em> magazine was one of the newsstand&rsquo;s most reliable titles, rarely selling fewer than 1 million copies per issue. But the first six months of 2012 were troublesome for the Time Inc. cash cow, whose single-copy sales tumbled 18 percent versus the first half of 2011, proving that there&#39;s no foolproof recipe for newsstand success.</p>
<p>
While the magazine had a few wins, including a Feb. 27 Whitney Houston cover that sold some 1.3 million copies at newsstand, its single copy sales rarely surpassed 1 million. In fact, newsstand numbers fell below 900,000 a full 11 times during the first half of the year, according to publisher-supplied data from the Audit Bureau of Circulations&#39; Rapid Report.</p>
<p>
The two worst-faring covers relied on lesser-known male reality stars. <em>People</em>&rsquo;s Jan. 16 issue, &ldquo;The Bachelor Gets Wild,&rdquo; profiling <em>The Bachelor</em> star Ben Flajnik, sold just 682,636 newsstand copies, while the April 23 issue, featuring telenovela actor and<em> Dancing With the Stars</em> contestant William Levy, sold a mere 613,812 and missed the magazine&rsquo;s rate base by 7.5 percent.</p>
<p>
Proving that &ldquo;In Memoriam&rdquo; covers don&rsquo;t always sell, the March 19 issue featuring recently departed Monkees singer Davy Jones sold 890,666 copies. Other emotional subjects including &ldquo;Elizabeth Smart&rsquo;s Dream Wedding&rdquo; on March 5 and the &ldquo;American Tragedy&rdquo; of Trayvon Martin on April 9 also failed to tug at readers&rsquo; heartstrings, each selling in the 800,000 range.</p>
<p>
While expectations for TV bachelors and ex-Monkees might not seem so great to begin with, other newsstand misses were more surprising. Despite the massive popularity of <em>The Hunger Games</em>, the March 26 cover story &ldquo;Secrets of <em>The Hunger Games,</em>&rdquo; featuring star Jennifer Lawrence, sold fewer than 850,000 newsstand copies. An April 30 cover touting Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie&rsquo;s engagement sold 858,183 issues, while the May 7 issue&#39;s proclamation of Beyonc&eacute; as &ldquo;The World&rsquo;s Most Beautiful Women&rdquo; missed its rate base by 7 percent. And even though Kate Middleton and Khloe Kardashian are tabloid favorites, both of their <em>People</em> covers fell short of the 900,000 mark.</p>
<p>
Even Jessica Simpson&rsquo;s June 11 cover, featuring the first public photos of the singer&#39;s newborn daughter, was a disappointment at 926,719 copies&mdash;especially given that <em>People</em> <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jessica-simpson-baby-pictures-people-magazine-333487" target="_blank">paid a whopping</a> $850,000 for those baby photos.</p>

A U.K. attorney general will <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/nov/22/milly-dowler-mail-mirror?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+theguardian/media/rss+%28Media%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">pursue contempt allegations</a> against the <em>Daily Mirror </em>and <em>Daily Mail </em>in connection with the tabloids&#39; coverage of the conviction of phone hacking victim Milly Dowler&rsquo;s murderer, <em>The Guardian </em>reported today.</p>
<p>
This past June, Levi Bellfield was found guilty of abducting and murdering the 13-year-old Dowler in 2002. But before the jury could reach a verdict on a second charge against Bellfield&mdash;that he had attempted to kidnap another young girl, 11-year-old Rachel Cowles, the day before abducting Dowler&mdash;the trial judge dismissed the jury, claiming that the media publicity surrounding Bellfield&#39;s murder conviction was &ldquo;so prejudicial that the jury could no longer be expected to consider it,&rdquo; according to<em> The Guardian</em>.</p>
<p>
The <em>Mirror</em> and <em>Mail</em> argued that their reporting on the conviction hadn&rsquo;t created a &ldquo;substantial risk of serious prejudice,&rdquo; but yesterday a pair of judges ruled that there was enough of an &ldquo;arguable&rdquo; case against the newspapers for the attorney general, Dominic Grieve, to pursue the matter. A full hearing of the contempt claims against both tabloids will be held at a later date.</p>

The <em>Daily Mirror</em> is owned by Britain&rsquo;s Trinity Mirror, while the <em>Daily Mail</em> is owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust.</p>

D.M. Levine<p>
The English blogger who has, for weeks, been accusing Piers Morgan of involvement in the ballooning U.K. hacking scandal, now says he is <a href="http://blogs.forbes.com/jeffbercovici/2011/07/26/claim-smoking-gun-recording-links-piers-morgan-to-hacking/" target="_blank">sitting on a recording</a> in which Morgan admits as much.</p>
<p>
According to <em>Forbes</em> media writer Jeff Bercovici, Paul Staines, the editor of a popular right-leaning British blog called Guido Fawkes, claimed to have a recording that &ldquo;contradicts [Morgan&rsquo;s] recent claims&rdquo; that he had no knowledge of any hacking by reporters working under him during his tenure as a tabloid editor. But it now turns out that the recording is <a href="http://blogs.forbes.com/jeffbercovici/2011/07/26/that-piers-morgan-smoking-gun-not-so-smoky/" target="_blank">far less provocative than Staines claimed it was</a>.</p>
<p>
Morgan, who worked for Rupert Murdoch as editor of <em>The News of the World</em> in 1994, before taking the top job at competitor tabloid <em>The Daily Mirror</em> in 1995, where he served until he was fired in 2004 (after photos the <em>Mirror</em> published depicting British soldiers allegedly abusing Iraqi prisoners <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/3716151.stm" target="_blank">were proven to be fake</a>), has denied that any hacking took place by reporters working under him.</p>
<p>
As Bercovici points out, most recently, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/24/world/europe/24hacking.html?pagewanted=all" target="_blank">Morgan</a> told <em>The New York Times,&nbsp;</em>&ldquo;I have never hacked a phone, told anyone to hack a phone, nor to my knowledge published any story obtained from the hacking of a phone. I am not aware, and have never seen evidence to suggest otherwise, that any Mirror story published during my tenure was obtained from phone hacking.&quot; &nbsp;On his primetime CNN program last week, Morgan made <a href="http://www.adweek.com/news/television/piers-morgan-finally-addresses-murdoch-phone-hacking-air-133528" target="_blank">a similar statement</a>&nbsp;(following a week of <a href="http://www.adweek.com/news/press/cnn-keeping-mum-about-piers-morgan-hacking-allegations-133435">relative silence</a> on the matter) after <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/cmhansrd/cm110706/debtext/110706-0003.htm" target="_blank">a number</a> of <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/piers-morgan-lashes-out-at-mp-louise-mensch-for-accusing-him-of-phone-hacking/2011/07/20/gIQAXtuePI_blog.html" target="_blank">members</a> of Parliament in the U.K. accused him of overseeing hacking during his time at the tabloid.</p>
<p>
At first, Trinity Mirror, the company that owns the <em>Daily Mirror</em> tabloid, responded to the allegations with a <a href="http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&amp;storycode=47446" target="_blank">vociferous denial </a>that any hacking took place. Since then, the company has announced that it will be initiating an <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/phone-hacking/8661829/Trinity-Mirror-launches-investigation-following-phone-hacking-allegations.html" target="_blank">i</a><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/phone-hacking/8661829/Trinity-Mirror-launches-investigation-following-phone-hacking-allegations.html" target="_blank">nternal investigation</a> into the allegations.</p>
<p>
As steadfast as Morgan has been in his denials of the hacking allegations, Staines has been <a href="http://order-order.com/2011/07/12/piers-morgan-knew-award-winning-scoop-was-hacked/" target="_blank">equally outspoken</a> in his insistence, on his Guido Fawkes blog, that Morgan did indeed oversee hacking during his career as an editor. Two weeks ago, Staines <a href="http://order-order.com/2011/07/13/britains-got-hacking/" target="_blank">posted a story</a> that purported to excerpt a passage from Morgan&rsquo;s 2005 memoir, <em>The Insider</em>, in which Morgan appeared to imply that he was fully versed in hacking methods.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;Apparently if you don&rsquo;t change the standard security code that every phone comes with, then anyone can call your number and, if you don&rsquo;t answer, tap in the standard four digit code to hear all your messages. I&rsquo;ll change mine just in case, but it makes me wonder how many public figures and celebrities are aware of this little trick,&rdquo; the excerpt read.</p>
<p>
In the accompanying blog post, Staines&nbsp;argued that the excerpt was clear evidence that Morgan was aware of hacking by reporters at the <em>Mirror</em>. It later came to light, however, that the quote was <a href="http://blogs.channel4.com/factcheck/factcheck-did-piers-morgan-boast-about-phone-hacking/7294" target="_blank">t</a><a href="http://blogs.channel4.com/factcheck/factcheck-did-piers-morgan-boast-about-phone-hacking/7294" target="_blank">aken out of context</a>, and that Morgan was really discussing a suggestion that he, himself, had been the victim of hacking by reporters outside his paper.&nbsp;</p>

Janon Fisher<p>
A Fort Worth, Texas, house painter who received one of the country&#39;s first face transplants has obtained a restraining order against tabloid outlet <a href="http://www.barcroftmedia.com/index.pgi" target="_blank">Barcroft Media</a>, claiming that its constant hounding and underhanded story mongering has jeopardized his recovery.</p>
<p>
Barcroft, however, says the restraining order is not constitutional.</p>
<p>
Dallas Wiens, 25, who was horribly disfigured by a high voltage wire in 2008, claims that Barcroft forged his signature on a contract giving away the rights to his story for one British pound. Wiens also claims that the company stiffed him $1,500 on a deal that was supposed to be a &quot;heartwarming human interest story&quot; for the holiday issue of a British women&#39;s magazine.</p>
<p>
A Texas judge approved a temporary restraining order last week preventing the company from publishing his story or photos.</p>
<p>
Wiens suffered near-fatal injuries when he hit a power line while painting the outside of Ridglea Baptist Church in Fort Worth. The high voltage blast burned his face into his skull and left him in a coma for three months. The 20-plus surgeries that saved his life destroyed what was left of his face. He was left without lips, eyes, ears, and a nose.</p>
<p>
His injuries also made him a huge media story when he qualified for Brigham &amp; Women&#39;s Hospital&#39;s experimental face transplant surgery. In January 2009 a reporter with Barcroft&mdash;which normally specializes in sensational fare with titles like &quot;Stripper Mum and Daughter&quot; and &quot;I Starved Myself for Model Look&quot;&mdash;reached out to Wiens and his grandparents, who he lives with, asking for exclusive rights to his story, according to court papers.</p>
<p>
The family, who was fielding offers from many media outlets but had not granted any interviews, turned them down.</p>
<p>
Several months later, Barcroft proposed a second offer, Wiens&#39; lawyer says. They offered him $1,500 and said they would give him copies of all photographs, footage, and interview material for his review before publishing. Financially strapped at the time, Wiens alleges that he agreed to be interviewed under those conditions. He claims not to have received a copy of the contract and has yet to approve the article or any of the photos and video that was taken.</p>
<p>
In March of this year, Wiens underwent a 16-hour procedure involving 32 surgeons to receive the country&rsquo;s third face transplant. According to the complaint, Barcroft reporters and photographers swarmed the Boston hospital seeking interviews from doctors and family, even calling and texting Wiens himself.</p>
<p>
&quot;Still under sedation from his surgery, [Wiens] answered one of the initial calls,&quot; said his lawyer Lisa Jamieson.</p>
<p>
Jamieson told Barcroft that her client was not interested in telling them his story, but they persisted. Barcroft, said Jamieson, &quot;has used every tactic imaginable to try and gain access&quot; to Wiens, even producing an exclusive contract signed by him for one British pound&mdash;less than two American dollars.</p>
<p>
She says it&#39;s a forgery.</p>
<p>
Wiens would not talk to Adweek for this story, but he does have his own website and a public relations firm that still fields press inquiries. Barcroft declined to discuss specifics of the allegations.</p>
<p>
&quot;The team at Barcroft Media were surprised and disappointed by the recent action brought by representatives of Mr. Dallas Wiens,&quot; they said in a statement. &quot;We had enjoyed an excellent working relationship with Mr. Wiens and his family. The allegations brought in court proceedings are without merit, and we are working with our legal team to address them. Barcroft Media is a well-respected British media agency which is proud of its achievements and looks forward to setting the record straight.&quot;</p>
<p>
The company&#39;s lawyer also questioned the legality of the restraining order.</p>
<p>
&quot;It is not constitutional,&quot; said the Barcroft lawyer Bob Latham. &quot;A prior restraint on the press of that nature cannot survive constitutional scrutiny, and we will certainly be addressing that issue. The judge only heard one side of the case.&quot;</p>
